Coronado Springs is one of Disney World's most underrated hotels. It's a moderate-level resort, so room rates range between $260 and $600, but it feels deluxe.
I love the main hotel pool, which looks like an ancient Mayan ruin. It also has the largest hot tub at Disney World, which is great for a soak after a long day at the parks.
But the hotel's biggest highlight is its dining scene. One of my favorite things to do when I stay here is have dinner at Three Bridges Bar & Grill, which overlooks the lake in the middle of the resort.
After dinner, I head into Gran Destino Tower and go up to Dahlia Lounge for a cocktail and dessert. The lounge's outdoor seating area has incredible views that span from Animal Kingdom to Epcot, with Hollywood Studios in the middle.
